OUR  homes  are  like  a  theatre;  in  front  the  Stage- — the  part  that  people  see. 
But  back  behind  the  scenes  someone  muSt  work  to  keep  things  going  smoothly 
out  in  front.  No  Spotlight  here — and  all  too  little  credit  and  applause! 

' Back  in  the  kitchen  of  every  home  is  a  woman  who  controls  a  large  shares 
of  the  family  happiness  and  health — a  job  which  demands  real  generalship, 
infinite  resource  and  long,  long  hours  of  hard  work. 

It  is  with  an  understanding  appreciation  of  the  woman  in  the  kitchen  and 
her  job  that  we  send  this  little  book  and  hope  the  suggestions  it  contains  may 
somehow  help  in  easing  the  pressing  burden  of  work  that  must  be  done  to  make 
a  ho?ne  successful.

The  iJMoDEREi  Kitcheei 
kJMust  be  c- Attractive  and  Convenient 


fter  all,  your  kitchen  is  more  exclusively  your  room 
than  any  other  in  the  house.  You  spend  longer  hours 
in  it  every  day.  You  alone  decide  its  arrangement  and 
appearance.  Of  course  you  have  planned  your  kitchen 
to  meet  your  needs — and  yet  is  it  really  as  comfortable, 
convenient  and  inviting  as  your  living  room,  for  in¬ 
stance?  Domestic  science  authorities  tell  us  that  the  really  modern 
kitchen  must  meet  two  great  requirements.  First,  it  must  be  attractive 
—an  inviting,  restful  place  to  work.  For  where  we  work  has  so  much  to 
do  with  how  we  work!  You  know  that  dismal  depression  that  engulfs 
you  in  a  cluttered,  unsightly  kitchen.  But  in  an  orderly,  cheerful  room 
— how  much  more  happily  we  work,  and  therefore  more  easily! 


Second,  the  kitchen  must  be  convenient;  fully,  completely  furnished ! 
Of  all  rooms  in  the  house  the  one  where  you  spend  your  longest, 
hardest  working  hours  should  be  planned  to  the  last  detail  and  ade¬ 
quately  equipped.  Only  so  can  you  route  your  work  and  save  the  fruit¬ 
less  effort  and  wasted  steps  that  are  so  large  a  part  of  kitchen  activity! 

The  Hoosier  Manufacturing  Company  has  made  it  possible  for  you 
to  enjoy  such  a  kitchen — trim,  attractive  and  well  ordered — with  sat¬ 
isfying  ease  and  economy.  In  our  test  kitchens  at  Newcastle,  Indiana, 
domestic  science  experts  have  designed  equipment  that  ideally  fills  the 
practical  and  artistic  needs  of  a  thoroughly  modern  kitchen. 


The  various  units  of  Hoosier  equipment  are  shown  on  the  pages 
following.  You  may  see  them  at  the  Hoosier  Store  in  your  city  and 
there  find  help  in  planning  for  your  special  kitchen  needs. 


The  Troblem  of  the 
Targe%_  Kitche Hi 


itchens  which  must  serve  large 
households  have  their  own  pe¬ 
culiar  problems.  They  are  harder 
to  make  look  cozy  and  special 
care  must  be  taken  in  the  choice 
of  furnishings,  to  take  away  that 
“barny”  look.  And  more  impor¬ 
tant  still,  they  must  be  equipped  to  save  much 
of  the  walking  which  their  very  size  imposes.  If 
possible,  the  floor  area  of  a  kitchen  should  not 
exceed  144  square  feet.  The  plan  opposite  shows 
a  kitchen  12x12.  Notice  how  compact  it  is ;  you 
could  do  the  work  as  easily  in  it  as  in  a  room 
much  smaller.  This  is  due,  of  course,  to  the  splen¬ 
did  choice  of  equipment  and  to  its  well  planned 
arrangement.  The  position  of  the  Hoosier  Units 
is  especially  chosen,  flanking  the  sink.  There 
is  a  spacious  breakfast  alcove,  delightfully  fur¬ 
nished  with  the  complete  Hoosier  Breakfast  Set 
and  with  an  extra  Hoosier  China  Unit.  This 
charming  and  efficient  arrangement  proves 
that  size  need  be  no  handicap ! 


Edo  you  like  pretty  blues,  greens  and  yellows?  ‘They  are  recommended  for  kitchens!  Hereu 
are  three  color  schemes  that  give  a  delightful  effect;  light  yellow  -walls,  deep  cream  wood¬ 
work,  blue-and-white  check  linoleum;  soft  blue  -walls,  gray  woodwork,  linoleum  in  blue 
and  gray  touched  with  black;  ivory  walls,  pale  green  woodwork,  and  floor  painted  black, 
then  varnished.  For  practical  and  artistic  reasons,  the  woodwork  should 
be  lighter  than  the  floor,  and  the  ceiling  lighted  of  all

Because  of  the  size  of  this  kitchen, 
it  accommodates  particularly  well  the 
48 -inch  Hoosier  Highboy  Cabinet,  one 
single  and  two  double  units  and  the 
full  Hoosier  Breakfast  Set. 

A  very  handsome 
kitchen  suite 


W indow  curtains  furnish  many  possibilities  for  brightening  the  kitchen.  Cretonne,  bound 
in  black  or  white,  is  gdily  decorative.  Shades  of  glazed  Chintz  are  charming.  They  haves 
the  added  virtue  of  shedding  duff  and  diffusing  light.  Chambray  curtains  are  lovely  em¬ 
broidered  or  cross-ditched  simply,  or  made  up  with  false  hems  of  a  contrasting  color.  Checked 
gingham,  finished  with  rick-rack  braid  is  delightfully  novel.  <_ And  plain  white 
or  cream  materials,  worked  in  bright  colors,  offer  infinite  variety

H  or  a  Useless  "Pantry 
". Became  a  Charming  "'Breakfast'  U[poK 


ERE  is  a  plan  which  illustrates  how 
a  little  ingenious  planning  can 
make  a  kitchen  perfect.  You  see 
a  breakfast  alcove  is  an  integral  part 
of  this  plan.  And  would  you  be¬ 
lieve  that  this  charming  kitchen 
adjunct  was  once  a  pantry — a  dis¬ 
tant,  inaccessible  pantry!  By  converting  it  into 
a  breakfast  nook,  you  have  all  the  convenience 
of  a  kitchenette  apartment  and  yet  enjoy  the 
spacious  room  of  a  real  house.  To  take  the  place 
of  the  cupboard  space  which  the  former  pantry 
afforded,  Hoosier  movable  units  were  placed, 
right  in  the  kitchen ,  where  storage  space  ought 
to  be.  Not  only  is  this  arrangement  particularly 
happy  in  point  of  appearance,  but  it  materially 
reduces  the  amount  of  walking  necessary  in  the 
day’s  work.  And  what  a  satisfaction  it  is  to  turn 
a  useless,  impractical  thing  into  a  cozy  cheery 
spot  of  real  use !  Such  a  change  requires  no  great 
expense  and  very  little  trouble.  With  Hoosier 
equipment  it  is  quite  simple  to  obtain,  whether 
in  the  old  kitchen  or  for  that  new  one 
now  being  so  carefully  planned. 


1  HE  most  citified  of  city  folks  may  have  a  garden — in  a  neatly  designed  box,  preferably 
one  with  metal  lining,  on  the  kitchen  window-sill !  Here,  the  practical  housewife  may 
grow  her  own  parsley,  chives  and  mint,  ready  for  use  when  occasion  demands,  rejoicing 
in  the  meantime  that  she  is  adding  another  touch  of  beauty  to  her  kitchen.  Of  course  she 
will  paint  the  box  a  cheery  color.  The  box  might  contain  flowers,  or  it 
could  be  displaced  by  a  fern  or  a  bright  potted  plant

This  kitchen  presents  special 
means  for  economy  of  the  worker’s 
time  and  strength.  You  will  notice  that  the 
Hoosier  single  units  are  placed 
in  two  strategic  positions: 
one,  beside  the  range; 
the  other  beside 
the  cabinet 


JFalls  tiled,  painted,  or  covered  with  a  painted  material  that  is  applied  like  wall  paper, 
are  all  attractive  and  washable.  ‘Tainted,  walls  are  less  expensive  than  tiling,  permit  a—> 
greater  warmth  and  variety  of  coloring,  and  may  be  renewed  by  the  housewife  herself.  It  is 
wise  to  remember  that  light  walls  are  cheerier  and  require  less  illumination  than  dark. 

Flat  paint  finish  for  woodwork  is  reltful  for  the  eyes,  washable 
and  easily  applied  by  the  amateur

The  Kitchex  Should  Come  First 
IN  H  ouse  Planning 


N  planning  a  house,  the  kitchen-; 
is  too  often  an  afterthought,  taking 
what  is  left  after  the  other  rooms  are 
duly  provided  for.  Because  the  most 


important  work  of  the  household  is 
done  in  the  kitchen,  its  appearance 
and  arrangement  have  a  vital  meaning. 


The  kitchen  deserves  to  be  considered  in  house 
planning,  as  much  as  any  other  room.  The  essen¬ 
tials  to  be  considered  inplanningareexposure,  shape, 
size  and  equipment.  The  necessities  of  kitchen 
equipment  are  sink  with  drain  board,  refrigerator, 
range,  cabinet  working  center  and  cupboard  space. 
This  equipment  can  be  amplified  infinitely,  depend¬ 
ing  upon  the  size  of  the  household  to  be  served  and 
the  number  of  workers.  In  arranging  equipment, 
the  progression  of  working  operations  should  be 
observed.  For  instance,  in  the  plan  shown  on  the 
opposite  page,  notice  that  beside  the  range,  a  Hoos- 
ier  pot  and  pan  unit  is  placed.  Here,  then,  one  finds 
the  frying  pan  all  ready  for  the  fire — and  there  is 
no  walking  across  the  room  for  it!  Again,  the 
Hoosier  Cabinet  and  refrigerator  are  grouped  to¬ 
gether — bringing  the  food  supplies  right  to  the 
very  center  of  activity.  A  little  planning 


in  time  saves  much  labor! 


N. choosing  a  floor  covering,  one  must  consider  appearance,  cleanliness,  wear,  comfort 


for  the  feet — and  expense.  Inlaid  linoleum,  waxed  and  cemented,  gives  all-around  satis¬ 
faction.  Domestic  science  experts  also  recommend  tile,  cork  carpet,  interlocking  rubber,  and 
the  wood  floor,  waxed,  painted  or  varnished.  Start  here  to  build  up  your  color  scheme,  for 


most  floor  coverings  come  in  a  variety  of  attractive  color  patterns.  The  small 
all-over  designs  are  easiest  to  keep  looking  clean-> 


<  8  f- 


This  plan  shows  a  careful 
study  of  kitchen  activities.  It  is 
logically  planned  so  that  there  is  small 
danger  of  crossing  one’s  own  tracks 
numberless  times,  as  happens 
in  so  many  kitchens 


HI  Y  all  means,  have  a  rest  nook  !  table  r with  a  Straight  chair,  an  easy  chair,  a  bright 

potted  plant ;  above  the  table,  a  shelf  for  books  and  magazines,  a  calendar,  a  cheerful  picture 
— these  are  suggestions  for  a  small  "oasis”,  ■where  you  may  relax  a  moment  while  keeping 
a  weather-eye  on  the  cooking.  The  charming  little  Hoosier  'TSreakfaSt  Set,  white  enameled 
porceliron  top  table  and  low-backed  cane-seated  chairs,  each  with  a  touch  of 
color,  makes  an  inexpensive  nucleus  for  such  a  quiet  corner

What  Hoosie%_  Equipment  "Brinqs 
to  Your  Kitchen 


he  three  kitchen  plans  oppo¬ 
site  show  how  Hoosier  equipment 
answers  every  need  more  fully  than 
any  other  can  possibly  do.  Take, 
for  instance,  the  Hoosier  Highboy, 
supplemented,  as  it  is,  with  the 
Hoosier  double  cupboard  unit  in 
the  first  plan.  Here  you  have  your  working  center. 
But  the  difference  between  the  Hoosier  work¬ 
ing  center  and  the  average  built-in  affair,  is  that 
in  the  Hoosier  you  really  have  every  possible 
facility  you  need  to  work  with !  Not  in  long 
years  and  perhaps  never,  could  you  assemble  the 
accessories  and  fittings  which  Hoosier  provides. 
The  cabinet  table  space  is  supplemented  by  that 
of  other  Hoosier  tables  and  the  cabinet  storage 
space  by  that  of  the  Hoosier  Units.  And  every 
separate  unit  matches  in  finish  and  design,  mak¬ 
ing  a  kitchen  suite  that  you  can  never  equal 
with  any  of  your  own  devising  and  building — 
either  from  the  standpoint  of  handsome  furni¬ 
ture  or  pure  efficiency.  From  a  cost  standpoint, 
too,  Hoosier  equipment  brings  more  to  your 
kitchen  than  any  other  means 
of  furnishing. 


c A  kitchen  must  be  well  ventilated  to  be  comfortable.  This  need  will  be  filled  if  win¬ 
dows  are  opposite  each  other  so  as  to  give  a  natural  cross-current  of  air.  Tut  in  case  they 
are  not,  or  if  there  is  only  one  window,  a  very  good  circulation  of  air  may  be  produced  by 
placing  an  electric  fan  on  a  small  shelf  about  eight  feet  from  the  floor, 
ten-inch  fan  is  large  enough  for  a  small  kitchen

1  HIS  plan  will  delight  the  heart 
of  the  woman  who  can  never  get 
enough  table  space  for  her  culinary 
operations.  The  Hoosier  double 
cupboard  unit  is  placed  as  an  ex¬ 
tension  of  the  Hoosier  Cabinet — a 
very  effective  massing  of  furniture. 


1  HE  WOMAN  who  likes  ample 
storage  space  will  find  this  plan 
particularly  appealing.  Plenty  of 
room  here  for  everything,  with 
Hoosier  double  storage  units  in 
both  kitchen  and  breakfast  alcove! 


'1  HIS  PLAN  provides  for  all  the 
equipment  necessary  to  carry  on 
efficiently  the  work  of  any  house¬ 
hold.  Note  the  ample  table  and 
cupboard  space;  a  wise  provision — 
complete,  efficient  and  attractive! 


TVo  detail  of  kitchen  equipment  is  more  important  than  the  height  of  sink  and  -work 
table.  sink  thirty -five  inches  from  the  floor  is  comfortable  for  workers  ranging  from  five 
feet  to  five  feet  six  inches.  The  ideal  height  for  the  work  table  is  eight  inches  below  the~> 
worker’s  elbow.  An  exclusive  feature  of  the  Hoosier  Kitchen  Cabinet,  is  the  adjusted  height, 
which  makes  it  possible  for  the  user  to  work  in  comfort-,

The  First  1\(eed  of  a  ^Moderei  Kitcheei 
— Working  Center 


n  planning  adequate  equipment  for  the 
modern  kitchen  the  first  need  is — a  working 
center!  This  need  the  Hoosier  Kitchen 
Cabinet  fills,  in  the  most  complete,  conve¬ 
nient  working  center  that  can  possibly  be 
devised.  With  a  Hoosier  cabinet  as  the  cen¬ 
ter  of  kitchen  activity,  you  can  really  “route” 
your  work  to  save  both  time  and  strength. 


THE  HOOSIER  HIGHBOY  (48-inch) — 

A  MODEL  OF  UNEQUALED  DISTINCTION 

To  the  Hoosier  Highboy  belongs  the  distinction  of 
being  the  finest  and  most  complete  kitchen  cabinet  ever 
designed.  It  furnishes  an  expanse  of  work-space  and  a 
storage  capacity  unequaled  in  any  other  model — 15% 
more  than  in  the  average  size.  The  roomy  upper  shelves 
— wide  enough  for  a  full-size  dinner  plate — are  an  ex¬ 
clusive  Hoosier  feature. 

In  height,  flush  with  the  average  door  casing  and  with 
other  proportions  equally  imposing,  this  Highboy  model 
lends  to  the  kitchen  the  fine  dignity  and  substantial 
beauty  of  furniture  specially  designed.  And  it  is  partic¬ 
ularly  effective  when  used  in  conjunction  with  the  other 
Hoosier  Units,  making  a  room  uniform  in  finish  and  de¬ 
sign;  completely,  handsomely  furnished  to  the  last  detail! 

It  has  so  many  conveniences,  too,  not  possible  to  get 
in  a  cabinet  of  smaller  size — the  lower  section  double 
doors,  completely  fitted  with  air-tight  crystal  jars  for  bulk 
foods,  and  special  trays  for  egg-beaters,  potato-mashers 
and  those  small  odd  pieces  that  never  seem  to  have  a 
niche  of  their  own. 

This  model  finds  its  ideal  use,  of  course,  in  larger 
kitchens,  on  the  farm  or  in  city  homes  of  greater  size. 


Highboy  equipment  includes  white  porceliron  top,  27  x48  inches,  oper¬ 
ating  on  roller-spring  tension;  mouse-proof  construction;  ant-proof  casters; 
shaker  sifter;  14-piece  glassware  set;  velvet-lined  silverware  extension  drawer; 
10-piece  Hoosier  Domestic  Science  cutlery  set;  extension 
drawer  with  compartments  for  this  set.

he  Hoosier  leaves  nothing  unsupplied 
to  make  a  completely  equipped  working 
center.  Not  only  is  this  seen  in  the  larger 
matters  of  proportion  and  arrangement  of 
space,  but  in  all  the  exclusive  little  fittings 
and  accessories.  Every  Hoosier  Cabinet  is  a 
really  fine  piece  of  kitchen  furniture.  Solid 
and  substantial,  it  has  yet  a  daintiness  of 
design  and  refinement  of  finish  which  gives  to  any  kitchen 
a  certain  distinctive  charm. 


THE  HOOSIER  HIGHBOY  (41 -inch)  — 

HANDSOME,  COMPLETE,  COMMODIOUS 

Just  as  handsome  and  complete  in  its  way  as  the  larger 
Hoosier  Highboy,  but  on  a  slightly  smaller  scale,  is  the 
41 -inch  Hoosier  Highboy.  It  too,  makes  a  fully  equipped 
working  center  for  your  kitchen,  affording  unusually  gen¬ 
erous  storage  and  working  space.  Especially  worthy  of 
notice  are  the  broad  shelves — roomy  enough  for  the 
largest  of  your  dishes  and  utensils. 

The  fittings  and  appointments  of  this  model  save  so 
much  extra  motion;  reaching  takes  the  place  of  walking! 
And  its  refinement  of  design  and  finish  adds  a  new 
distinction  to  your  room.  The  height  of  this  model  is 
just  that  of  the  average  door  casing,  which  gives  the  ap¬ 
pearance  of  planned  uniformity  to  the  kitchen.  This  fine 
effect  is  increased  when  the  cabinet  is  used  as  a  central 
unit  in  connection  with  the  other  units  of  Hoosier  equip¬ 
ment. 

For  modern  kitchens  which  serve  the  needs  of  a  busy 
family  of  medium  size  or  more,  you  can  provide  no  more 
perfect  cabinet  than  this  4l-inch  Hoosier  Highboy. 


The  equipment  of  the  4l-inch  Hoosier  Highboy  includes  white  porceliron 
top,  27x40j4  inches;  operating  on  roller-spring  tension;  mouse-proof  con¬

•mall  wonder  that  the  Hoosier  Beauty  is  so  pop¬ 
ular  for  use  in  modern  kitchens  of  average  size

The  special  design  and  proportions  of  this 
model  furnish  one  more  proof  of  the  Hoosier 
care  in  constructing  kitchen  cabinets  to  satisfy, 
in  every  detail,  the  ends  they  are  to  serve.  For,  whereas, 
the  Hoosier  Highboy  is  designed  for  the  larger  kitchen,

of  these  conveniences  are. 

And  more  than  this,  the  Hoosier  Beauty  plays  its  own 
good  part  in  giving  to  the  kitchen  an  attractive  air  of 
fitness — the  look  of  a  room  that  is  appropriately  furnished. 
Sturdy  it  is,  to  be  sure,  for  all  Hoosier  equipment  is  built 
to  withstand  the  wear  and  tear  of  every  day  hard  usage.

a  certain  trim  daintiness  that  every  woman  finds  charming. 
In  short,  this  model  is  beauty  and  convenience  in  the 
form  best  suited  to  the  kitchen  of  average  size  or  less!

—H  oosier  Movable  Units 


vestment. 


odern  efficiency  demands  that  a  kitchen  be  com¬ 
pact;  every  utensil  and  device  within  easy  reach  of 
where  it  is  most  often  used.  That  is  why  the  old  de¬ 
tached  butler’s  pantry  is  giving  place  to  cupboards 
which  are  a  part  of  the  kitchen  itself.  For  the 
average  kitchen  the  separate  pantry  is  a  poor  in- 
It  takes  up  space  which  might  be  more  profitably  used, 


and  imposes  so  much  extra  walking  and  work 


In  modem  kitchen  planning,  the  space  formerly  given  to  a  remote 
and  impracticable  pantry  is  now  being  used  for  that  delightful  kitchen 
adjunct  —  the  breakfast  alcove.  And  how  much  more  inviting  and 
convenient  this  arrangement  is  !  Economical,  too,  for  it  not  only  affords 
a  saving  of  steps  and  work  but  the  same  financial  outlay  provides  so 
much  more — breakfast  nook  and  in  addition,  the  handy  cupboards  right 
in  the  kitchen  exactly  where  you  need  them. 


Hoosier  movable  units  ideally  provide  the  extra  storage  space  which 
every  kitchen  needs  in  addition  to  that  afforded  in  the  cabinet  itself. 
The  same  scientific  designing  which  has  made  the  Hoosier  Cabinet  a 
perfect  working  center,  offers,  in  these  units,  a  complete,  modern  pantry. 

Hoosier  Units  are  designed  in  roomy  single  and  double  size,  the 
same  height  as  the  Hoosier  Highboy  Cabinets  and  the  same  depth  as 
the  upper  section  of  these  cabinets.  And  of  course  they  match  the 
cabinets  in  finish  and  design. 


You  may  use  these  special  Hoosier  Units  as  an  extension  of  your 
Highboy  cabinet — on  either  side  or  in  other  suitable  places  in  the  room 
where  wall  space  and  convenience  designate. 

Whatever  the  arrangement  in  which  you  choose  to  use  cabinet  and 
units,  you  have,  with  this  Hoosier  equipment,  not  only  a  well-or¬ 
dered,  efficient  kitchen  but  an  attractive  room,  charmingly  furnished, 
as  uniform  as  if  designed  and  built  to  your  own  special  order — and  so 
much  more  complete  in  every  detail !

one  side  into  a  broom  closet!  Placed  beside  the  sink  this  unit  is  ready  to  receive  the 
dishes,  thus  reducing  the  amount  of  walking  to  a  minimum.

THE  HOOSIER  WORK  TABLE 

It  would  be  hard  to  imagine  a  kitchen  equipped  with  too  much  table  space.  In  most 
instances,  there  is  too  little.  Though  the  Hoosier  Kitchen  Cabinet,  with  its  broad  exten¬ 
sion  top,  furnishes  enough  work  space  for  the  ordinary  kitchen,  there  are  many  times 
when  more  would  be  so  welcome!  In  these  cases,  this  work  table  has  a  special  value  as 
a  supplement  to  the  Hoosier  Kitchen  Cabinet. 

The  three  roomy  drawers  and  the  handy  cutting  board  are  points  that  win  special  ap¬ 
preciation.  This  table  has  the  same  attractive  features  as  the  Hoosier  Breakfast  Set  and 
the  Hoosier  Kitchen  Cabinets — white  enamel  finish,  blue  decoration,  porceliron  top, 
and  nickel  drawer  pulls.  It  may  be  had  in  two  sizes : 

No.  1 1,  contains  three  drawers  and  cutting  board,  equipped  with  porceliron 
top  25x40%  inches.  In  white  enamel  only;  decorated. 

No.  14,  contains  three  drawers  and  cutting  board,  equipped  with  porceliron 
top  27x48  inches.  In  white  enamel  only;  decorated.

Special  Hoosie%_  Features 


SCIENTIFICALLY  PLANNED  TO  MEET  YOUR  NEEDS, 

THE  HOOSIER  GIVES  YOU  MANY  EXCLUSIVE  FEATURES 

Here,  in  one  piece  of  kitchen  furniture,  you  have,  all  ready  for  your  use, 
a  set  of  special  conveniences  that  you  could  not  collect  in  a  life-time  of 
buying  kitchen  equipment  piece  by  piece.  Many  of  these  special  devices 
cannot  be  duplicated;  others  can  be  duplicated  only  at  an  expenditure  of 
time  and  money  that  few  housewives  would  be  likely  to  incur. 


Velvet-lined  Silver  Compartments 


THIS  is  a  great  convenience  for  the 
woman  who  keeps  the  working  por¬ 
tion  of  her  silver  in  the  kitchen.  The 
pad  in  the  bottom  of  this  compartment 
lifts  out  easily  for  brushing.  The  other 
half  of  the  drawer  is  ideal  for  tea  towels. 
This  drawer,  like  the  cutlery  drawer, 
pulls  forward  with  the  extension  table 
top,  so  that  its  contents  are  always 
within  easy  reach. 


One  of  the  most  popular  features  of 
the  Hoosier  Beauty  and  Highboy  mod¬ 
els!  The  drawer  slides  out  with  the 
table  top,  so  that  it  is  always  accessible. 
The  special  device  pictured  holds  each 
utensil  in  its  place.  Leading  domestic 
science  experts  pronounce  this  10- 
piece  cutlery  set  the  most  practical  for 
every  kitchen.  It  comprises  meat  knife, 
French  trimming  knife,  paring  knives, 
bread  knives,  strong-pronged  forks 
and  handy  spatulas.  Every  utensil  is 
made  of  the  finest  crucible  steel,  pi  iant 
and  keen-edged.  The  handles  are  light¬ 
weight,  water-proof,  and  really  “fit 
the  hand.” 


Hoosier  Cutlery  “Drawer  with  Complete ^ 
Hoosier ' Domestic  Science  Kitchen  Set 


1  he  Hoosier  is  the  only  kitchen  cab¬ 
inet  that  gives  every  woman  a  work 
table  adjusted  to  her  height.  Women 
whose  back  and  shoulder  muscles  have 
suffered  the  aches  that  come  from 
working  at  a  table  top  that  is  too  high 
or  too  low,  will  fully  appreciate  this 
vitally  important  feature.  The  adjust¬ 
ing  is  done  by  means  of  detachable 
legs  of  various  heights. 


The  Hoosier  e. Adjusted  Heights 


1  he  final  choice  of  Hoosier  manufac¬ 
turers  and  domestic  science  experts, 
as  the  only  flour  bin  that  meets  all 
essential  requirements!  It  has  no  trou¬ 
blesome  mechanical  contrivances  to 
get  out  of  order;  it  is  particularly  easy 
to  fill;  it  is  the  only  bin  with  a  sliding 
glass  panel,  which  enables  the  user  to 
reach  every  corner  for  cleaning,  or  to 
return  flour  to  the  bin  quickly  and  eas¬ 
ily  when  more  is  sifted  than  is  needed. 


■JHost  ^Practical  Flour  'B  'nu, 


1  His  is  one  of  the  Hoosier’s  most  de¬ 
sirable  appliances.  It  works  four  times 
as  fast  as  most  sifters,  and  “fluffs”  the 
flour  in  addition  to  sifting  it.  The 
special  Hoosier  agitator  feeds  the  flour 
into  the  sifter  freely  and  smoothly, 
even  when  the  weather  is  damp.  The 
whole  sifter  is  very  simple  and  comes 
apart  in  an  instant  for  cleaning. 


The  Shaker  Flour  Sifter 


The  Hoosier  Sugar  “Bin-, 


1  HIS  is  the  only  bin  from  which  sugar 
can  easily  be  scooped  from  the  top  or 
drawn  from  the  spout  at  the  bottom. 
As  it  has  an  unusually  large  capacity, 
the  owner  may  buy  sugar  at  quantity 
prices.  The  bin  is  held  in  place  by  a 
strong  safety  catch,  but  may  be  quickly 
removed  for  cleaning.  The  sugar  comes 
into  contact  only  with  clean  triple- 
plated  metal. 


W hen  closed,  these  roll  doors  form 
a  neat  screen  for  the  work  section  of 
your  cabinet.  When  you  are  ready  for 
business  again,  they  can  be  opened  and 
rolled  back  out  of  the  way  in  an  instant. 

And  they  come  out  easily  for  cleaning. 

A  special  slot  in  the  middle  of  the 
grooved  channel  in  which  the  doors 
roll,  makes  this  channel  practically 
self-cleaning.  Crumbs  and  dust  are 
pushed  along  by  the  doors  themselves 
through  this  slot,  from  where  they  may 
easily  be  brushed  away. 

Hoosier  Roll ' Doors 


1  his  is  one  of  the  Hoosier’s  most 
appreciated  features.  Each  jar  is  so 
plainly  labeled,  and  the  caster  whirls 
about  so  easily,  that  the  housewife  can 
find  in  an  instant  just  what  she  wants. 
Some  of  the  jars  have  air-tight  alum¬ 
inum  tops,  while  others  have  perfor¬ 
ated  aluminum  tops.  This  makes  it 
possible  to  keep  each  seasoning  in 
the  container  that  suits  it  best. 


'Revolving  Spice  fkr/er

jTrom  the  front  edge  of  the  extended 
table  top  to  the  back  of  the  cabinet, 
there  is  a  broad,  free  working  space 
of  nearly  10 %  square  feet!  Every 
housewife  will  appreciate  the  conven¬ 
ience  of  this  special  feature.  And  be¬ 
cause  there  are  no  partitions  in  the 
way,  it  is  possible  to  get  pans  and 
dishes  directly  under  the  flour  sifter, 
no  matter  how  wide  they  may  be. 


The  Hoosier  Spacious  Work  Tables 


Hv ery  Hoosier  Cabinet  is  equipped 
with  metal  ant  cups — just  above  the 
easy-rolling  casters.  With  some  sub¬ 
stance  such  as  borax  or  tartar  emetic 
in  these  cups,  the  cabinet  can  always 
be  kept  free  of  ants.  To  further  insure 
perfect  cleanliness,  all  doors  are 
equipped  with  over-lapping  dust- 
strips.  Besides  these,  the  Hoosier 
Beauty  and  Highboy  cabinets  are 
equipped  with  tight-fitting  tops  over 
the  lower  section  which  make  them 
absolutely  mouse-proof.

The  Hoosier 'Rolling  Work  Tables 


i\o  wobbling  of  this  table  top  to  ex¬ 
asperate  you,  and  complicate  your 
cooking  operations!  At  all  times  — 
whether  partly  or  entirely  extended 
— the  Hoosier  table  top  is  held  per¬ 
fectly  rigid.  Yet  it  works  backward 
and  forward  with  the  greatest  ease  and 
smoothness.  This  great  improvement 
over  the  old-style  table  is  one  of  the 
most  appreciated  Hoosier  features. 


1  he  Hoosier  shiningwhite  top  is  the 
best  possible  molding  board— always 
in  place,  ready  for  use.  Unlike  a 
wooden  board,  it  has  no  pores  for 
dough  to  work  into  and  turn  sour. 
And  because  dough  will  not  stick  to 
it,  there  is  no  waste. 

This  is  supplemented  by  a  wooden 
cutting  board  which  slides  out  below 
the  shelf  of  the  base  cupboard.  The 
use  of  this  board  will  save  your  knives 
from  becoming  dulled. 


'Practical  (^Molding  ‘ 'Board 


Cv ery  Hoosier  Beauty  and  Hoosier 
Highboy  is  equipped  with  this  hand¬ 
some  set.  Besides  the  seven  spice  jars, 
there  are  five  larger  air-tight  contain¬ 
ers  for  dry  staples,  such  as  coffee,  rice 
or  beans.  One  smaller  jar  is  suitable 
for  tea  or  cocoa,  while  the  handy, 
open  dish  makes  an  ideal  container 
for  salt.  Each  jar  has  its  own  place, 
just  where  it  is  ready  to  your  touch. 


14-'Piece  Set  of  Crystal  Cj lass-ware^ 


T  IS  easy  to  find  knives,  spoons, 
change,  milk  tickets  and  other  small 
‘what-nots”  in  these  special  door  trays. 
Metal  racks  on  the  door  prevent  ex¬ 
tract  bottles  from  falling.  Another 
door  rack  holds  the  cook  book  open 
at  eye  level.  Besides  these  conven¬ 
iences,  the  upper  doors  of  the  larger 
Hoosier  models  are  equipped  with 
Mrs.  Christine  Frederick’s  Patented 
Food  Guide  and  Salad  chart;  grocery 
want  dial;  food  timer  and  bill  files.

Scientific  'Design  and  Construction 

jPurther  proof  of  the  Hoosier’s  scientific  construction  may  be  seen  in  the  roomy 
sliding  shelves  of  the  lower  section;  and  in  the  big  metal-lined  drawers  with  their 
ventilated  lids,  for  keeping  food.  The  whole  Hoosier  Cabinet  is  finished  with  a 
special  frame,  put  on  with  heavy  screws,  to  give  it  greater  strength  All  panels  are 
three-ply  to  prevent  cracking,  splitting,  or  warping.
